DIY Twisted Headband

I have been seeing these awesome twisted headbands around blog land and I decided it was time to try my hand at it! So, after a little trial and error, I've discovered just how easy these are to make! I may have to make several colors in anticipation for real spring weather. :) Here goes!

1. Start with a stretchy knit fabric (found at your local fabric store) and cut a wide strip to work work with.

2. Wrap it around your head tightly but give yourself a little slack for stitching and hold this place with your finger. Then trim off the excess.

3. You may also change the width of your headband, but I recommend keeping it a little wide because we'll be folding it in half!

4. Fold your fabric piece in half length-wise and give it a "twist" as shown above.

5. Bring the ends together (while still folded and twisted length-wise) and use a couple of pins to hold it in place.

6. Use a sewing machine (or you could stitch it by hand!) to stitch up the edges.

7. Turn your headband inside out so that the seam you've sewn is on the inside.
